The Member of FSB, symbol of Bulgarian rock music succeeded in incorporating authentic Bulgarian folklore music into the seemingly foreign progressive rock idiom

1. Formed FRB with Rumen Boyadzhiev in 1975

2. FSB’s specific sound palette is supplemented with the masterful implementation of Bulgarian folk instruments (gaida, kaval) and the use of instruments, untypical of the genre, like marimba, xylophone and the electric violin. Their compositions demonstrated a perfect synergy between tradition and innovation, a creative task well achieved

3. An indispensable musician recognized for his perfect pitch and proverbial sight-reading ability and the author of numerous arrangements of songs by Bulgarian composers
